Which bowl should you choose? High, anti-gluttonous, connected...?
🍽️ Which dog bowl should you choose? The complete guide to combining comfort, health and practicality
We rarely think about it, but the food bowl plays a key role in your dog's daily well-being . Too small, too low, poorly adapted… and suddenly mealtimes become a source of discomfort, digestive problems, or even neck pain.
Fortunately, there's a wide variety of dog bowls available today: adjustable height , slow-feeder , smart , dual-function , ergonomically designed … Here's how to make the right choice for your dog and your lifestyle 🐾
📏 1. Choose a bowl that is suitable for the size and build
A small dog does not have the same needs as a large dog:
-
Small dogs : shallow bowls, easy to access
-
Medium to large dogs : wider bowls, possibly raised
-
Dogs with flat faces (bulldog, pug, etc.) : shallow, flared bowls
💡 An ill-suited food bowl can force your dog to bend down too low or position its front paws incorrectly.
🛠️ 2. The different types of pet bowls (and their advantages)
🟤 Classic stainless steel bowl
- Hygienic, durable, easy to wash

🟢 Elevated food bowl (adjustable or fixed)
- Improves the dog's posture
- Relieves joint and neck pain, especially for older or large dogs
- Aids digestion
Perfect for large dogs or those suffering from neck pain
🔵 Slow-feeder bowl

💧 3. And what about the water in all of this?
The water must be:

💡 Consider using dog water fountains , which continuously filter the water and encourage your dog to drink more (very useful in summer!)
